Summary:  We consider Arveson's problem on the maximality of subdiagonal algebras. We prove that a subdiagonal algebra is maximal if it is invariant under the modular group of a faithful normal state which is preserved by the conditional expectation associated with the subdiagonal algebra.

Keywords:  Subdiagonal algebra, maximality, modular group, conditional expectation.
